Alt-right recruiting flier seen on campus at Clemson

The terms alt-right, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists are often used interchangeably, but to members of those groups, there's a difference.

An alt-right recruitment flier was found on campus at Clemson University this week.

Madison Gregoris, a member of Clemson's student senate, spoke about the flier at a student senate meeting Monday evening.

The flier was found at Fike Recreation Center and called for white people who are "tired of political correctness" and "realizing diversity means 'less white'" to "join the alt right." It also included links to several conservative-leaning websites such as dailystormer.ai and altright.com.

"It really alarms me that white supremacy is so comfortable on our campus," Gregoris told the Anderson Independent Mail. "White supremacists feel comfortable enough to recruit here and more importantly, I can’t imagine how any person of color — or any minority at all — can even be expected to feel safe on this campus."

John Gouch, assistant director of media relations, said the university is aware of the flier.

"It violates the university's posting policy," Gouch said. "We are aware of it and of course it was taken down."

Gouch said the university's police department is investigating the incident.
